Woodbury resident celebrates 101st birthday

“I’m disgustingly healthy,” says Lillian Beyers, who celebrated her 101st birthday with a party Aug. 26 at her Woodbury Mews home. “I’ve never smoked ... although I did have a beer once in a while in the summer.”

“She says she’s always been active, swimming and dancing, and still dances,” says Mews Community Life Director Angie DiStefano.

Lillian, who married at age 24 and had no children, lived alone in Gloucester City until she was 100. She worked for RCA for 13 years.

Family members who attended the party included a nephew and a niece.
